I want to position a bar on the screen based on the mouse x percentage across the screen. The pictures below demonstrate what I'm trying to achieve. I don't want the code or a capx - just the maths behind it

Grey box is the layout. Salmon box is the bar to be positioned.

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

[EDIT]

So far I have...

Mouse.X / Layout.Width * 100[/code:1gycr2d6]
[ul]
	[li]gives a number between 1 and 100 which is the percentage of screen width at the mouse x coordinate.[/li]
[/ul]

Reduce screen shake and that red damage filter thing. I got so frustrated that I closed the browser window. It is hard to tell player from enemy. I'll try it again when my frustration level has gone down.

There are lots of people who might be willing to help you, but you must put more information.

404'd links here? Is this abandoned/deprecated?

I did not ask for one and never will

I did not say that you did. There is nothing wrong with asking though.

I have seen several people tell information seekers that they can't expect someone to 'do it for them' - You are giving your opinion and expecting everyone else to follow along - some people might well be quite happy to throw a little example capx together. This is a community forum, the OP is quite within reason to ask if someone would be willing to do that for them. If you don't want to do that then don't.

Maybe they want to learn, just not able to explain themselves in a way we can understand...

(I used to work with the special ed students in highschool. I know plently about lack of ways to express oneself.

not saying he is special ed, but English may not be his native language. As well, there are certain terms used in game development and even in Construct 2, that may not be easy to express or readily understandable. )

Flat out telling a person that you give up on them, and or they don't want to learn, when they are showing a simple lack of understanding/expression of words is degrading and rude. And really hurts one's spirit.

I love the name.

clicking your own ads or asking people to click your ads its illegal by the terms of advertising companies rules /whatever banner companies don't allow u to do that, not sure where u ever read that any advertising network allow u to ask people to click ur ads, you should read more rules pages my friend blackcrypt

You are confusing the terms in a civil agreement ("a contractual set of conditions") with terms laid down in statute (the laws by which we are governed). Breaking the law is illegal. Breaking the terms of a contract is not illegal - you will not be hauled before a judge and jury.

Before you read any more 'rules pages' AND offer your advice as fact to others you ought to learn the difference.

This is one of the things I am finding hard to deal with. I am used to a classical programming environment where it's really easy to cut n paste snippets of code from a prototype or other project to your current project. C2's IDE really limits workflow in this area.

It is possible to copy/paste from sheet to sheet and also across different instances of the editor, but you must make sure that any variables/objects that are referenced by the pasted code have been added to the target project.

I have not experimented with any logic more than simple if x = y kind of commands as yet. Someone else might have a more elegant solution.

kids don't know that humans drive tanks

This would depend on what the kids have been taught. In my experience any child capable of playing a mobile game is also aware that tanks are made by and driven by people - and if they don't perhaps you should take away the mobile device and give them a book to read.

asking people to click on u'r ads its illegal

This might be contrary to the contract but it is definitely not illegal...

Illegal and unlawful have slightly different meanings, although they are often used interchangeably. Something that is illegal is against the law, whereas an unlawful act merely contravenes the rules that apply in a particular context. Thus handball in soccer is unlawful, but it is not illegal.

they (google?) are more focused on quality

Google are totally NOT focused on quality - it's a numbers game so the standards are set very low - if you buy a rubbish game they don't care - you already paid and there are no refunds for rubbish.

Your whole response to this guys questions is a bit on the rude side - in my opinion.

You seem to think that Google is like this big, generous internet wizard who's doing us all a favour by providing their 'service'. They have this one-sided (solely to protect their image) 'contract' which they have decided that they can change at a moment's notice at their whim and if you step outside of their terms they instantly cut you off without any kind of appeal - forever. Google is a machine designed to suck up money, but don't expect them to spend any of that money on quality control or arbitration. Google is bad for games. Period.

Most of the games that are churned out are absolute crud that are simply vehicles for adverts.

Google is bad for games. Period.

I should extend this to cover all the other 'app stores'.
